I'm curious to know how some of your big power M12s compare to the M600? I'm keen to know your 0-60, 0-100 & top speeds if you've ever been able to test them. Andy's, as far as I know, has more hp per ton than an M600, but is it as quick? And what about acceleration when already at high speed? I was on a run with a Carrera GT a few weeks back and at 70mph he pulled away from my 3R like I wasn't moving!

Adrian, I'd like to see that video of Chris Harris in yours again. Could you post the link please or are you out of touch with Nobles?;)

M600 is quoted as doing 0-150mph in 14 seconds I think? although i must admit I was expecting it to be similar to the F1's 12.8s.

Veyron supersport is 0-150mph in 10.2 seconds a which shows how fast the M600 is as it has 1200bhp!

My Motec Telemetry shows I do 0-150mph is well under 10 seconds, closer to 9 although I suspect a sub 9 second run would be possible. But then the maths do say it should be faster as I have more power and torque and 300kgs less weight!

In cold slippery conditions when I struggled to put the power down and feathering the throttle, the 2014 GT-R that was following me was flat to the floor to keep up... in warm conditions with warm tyres I have been able to use full throttle in every gear including 1st!

Well that for me is as good as it gets. What good is 200mph to anyone? It's just so you can say 'I can do 200mph' and never ever actually do it. However, getting from standstill to 100-150mph quicker than cars that cost vast amounts of money is very impressive.
Andy, now you know what you do to get to the current set up you have, I'd be curious how much it would cost as a one off project. i.e give standard 3R to someone to turn it into yours and then compare it to purchase price of an M600. I imagine the carbon fibre body wouldn't effect performance too much over fibreglass?

Saying that I just filled mine with super light dynamatt etc and fitted a Genesis amp and sub.... I'm going soft :-)
